1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in apparel and more particularly to a novel corset.

'I'he principal object of this invention is to provide a corset which can be worn by women without fear of the same riding upwardly or slipping downwardly.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a corset which will anchor itself to the lines of the body so as to eliminate shifting thereof during natural movement of the person.

These and numerous other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specication.

In the drawings:-

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the device in closed position.

Fig. 2 represents a front elevational view of the corset in closed position.

Fig. 3 represents a top plan view of the corset in open position.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents a binding which may have some type of reinforcement, and to this binding 5 is secured one end of each of the two elastic strips or bands 6 7. The edge portions of these bands 6 7 intersect each other at the points a and b and a line of stitching c connects these bands together in cross relation, the line of stitching terminating at the point a-b.

The remaining ends of the band 6 7 are connected by the binding a and the opposed edges o1' the band 6 7, adjacentv the binding 8 joined together from the point E to the point D, the latter being a substantial distance outwardly from the binding 8 and serving to connect the adjacent end portions of the band 6 7 so that these portions will provide an intact area within position 1932. Serial No. 588,011

against the abdomen of the wearer, as in the manner apparent from an observation of Fig. 2 which is a true front elevational view of the corset as worn on a person, with the bindings 5 and 8 in overlapping relation, and with the hooks 9 on the binding 5 engaging the eyes 10 on the binding 8.

An observation of Fig. 1, will teach that the upper portion of the band 6 will engage over the hip on the left side of the wearer while the lower portion of the band 6 will engage under the right hip. On the other hand, the upper portion of the band 7 will engage over the right hip while the lower portion of this band 7 will engage under the right hip, as there are no intermediate extensions, and in view of the narrowness of the corset at the intermediate portion of the back there is no likelihood of the corset riding upwardly or downwardly on the wearer from the movements of the person while walking or in other natural activities.

.Hose supporters 11 depend from each lower portion Ilof the band 6 7, as in the manner clearly shown in each of the views.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the specification in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A corset of the character described comprising a pair of crossed bands, said bands being secured together at their intersecting portions, said bands being stitched together at their edges adjacent one of their ends, a binder for connecting the ends of the bands together at the stitched end portions, and a binder for securing the bands together at the remaining free end portions.
